17.5 Hyper-Threading Technology
Intels ® Hyper-Threading technology boosts system performance without higher clock rates or adding more
processors which is also an optimization of the power consumption. Hyper-Threading works by duplicating
instructions streams, called threads. This allows a CPU to pretend to be two logical processors on the
operating system which must support this technology. Individually the logical processors can be halted or
interrupted or can execute a thread independently of the other logical unit.
Important: Hyper-Threading is only supported on the 1.6 GHz version (Article no.: 03001-0000-16-0 and 03001-0000-16-2)
17.6 Fan Interface
If a fan is added use this interface to connect a fan to cool off the CPU. The connector only supports 5V
fans. A three pin fan includes a pulse output (sense) which allows the control of fan speed.
17.6.1 Connector
The fan interface is available through connector J3203.
Header Pin Signal Name Function
1 SENSE Speed monitoring
2 VCC 1) Power +5V
3 GND Ground
Note: 1) To protect the external power lines of peripheral devices make sure that
- the wires have the right diameter to withstand the maximum available current.
- to enclosure of the peripheral device fulfills the fire-protecting conditions of IEC/EN 60950.
